Abstract

Disabled sports, also adaptive sports or parasports, are sports played by persons with a disability, including physical and intellectual disabilities.A wide range of sports have been adapted to be played by people with various disabilities, as well as several that are unique just to disabled athletes. Within each movement, different sports are practiced at different levels; for example, not all sports in the Paralympic movement are part of the Paralympic Games. The rising incidence of disability, particularly in developing countries has the potential to place further burdens on governments and health care systems. Sport can be a low-cost and effective means to foster positive health and well-being, social inclusion and community building for people with a disability. we have a long experience of disabled athletes because during 4 years we were the medical referent of the French paratriathlon team. We could also be with this team during the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. Paratriathlon is accessible, equitable, viable, sustainable and well balanced in every way imaginable, incorporating, in its subdisciplines, three of the most prolific and recognisable sports activity for rehabilitation.Thanks to our experience in the fied of paratriathlon, our aim is to develop a medical place to answer all medical et sport requests of disability athletes. For this we propose in our center a multidisciplinary medical care on a high level technical platform: Medical doctors in sport medicine and rehabilitation, physiotherapists, occupational therapist, sports coach, dieticians, psychologist, mental trainer, orthesist, nursesu2026 We wish to offer a global care for these patients: from the first day of the handicap installation until the day they will do sport activity again.
